Scheduling

So after a discouraging tête à tête with the head honcho at the bank, I finally assessed a schedule for my spring semester at The River. Originally set for five classes, I sensibly switched two and ended up with just four. Considering the difficulty I had balanacing the two last semester, alongisde the 'job,' I feel as though four might be more manageable than five. Considering three, but now I have a better understanding for the teacher's methods, and so long as I push myself through the material, I should do really well.
I gained, regretfully, three B's for my last semester. The one Arch Structures class I took, I thought I had an easy A, but maybe the teacher's come to expect that. I digress, hopefully this semester will motivate me even more all the while maintaining sanity at the 'job.'
So I'll be enrolled in;
Practicum I
Materials & Resources
Business
Bldg & Barrier Codes

Fun.

Semester I

Semester I of Interior Design has finally passed. Hindsight, I would've done things much differently. However, I have the know-how to apply in the future if I'm so lucky.
Presentations alone should be an improvement.
The registration for next semester has been posted for awhile and it seems so conflicting with maintaining a day time job as well. I need some form of balance. Though, just getting paid to go to school would be a nice compromise.
As relieved as I am, I've already spent the past two days just lounging and relaxing. And I hate it. I need to remain proactive and accomplish anything and everything I can. I can't let the sloth take over.
I want to continue using google sketchup and hone in on my skills. I want to finish the project from this semester as well as create some layout of this house. I need to familiarize myself more with photoshop and maybe take some classes.
I want to keep in touch with my classmates too. Facebook is seeming like an option, but I'm so reluctant considering all the garbage that comes with it.

I'm also lining up a potential house to move in to. I'll keep you posted.

Post-Op

After a slightly reluctant trip to my interview, I left with a renewed sense of accomplishment. The whole venture made me nostalgic of all the places and people I've been surprisingly fortunate enough to acquaint myself with. I'm definitely motivated to continue experiencing everything I can that could possibly broaden my design horizons.
The Architectural firm I navigated was above and beyond modern, which I've not much been a fan of in the past, though its been growing on me more recently. My only apprehension I try to emphasize is the need for a timeless design, which I don't feel modern really offers. I just hate for a decade to elapse and suddenly everyone is regretting their surroundings.
It just seems very intimidating to be around such achievement and success just push-pinned to the stark white walls. Not sure what is going to partake with that scenario.
Also not sure what is going to happen with the Robb & Stucky internship / job. Alas, aside from the seminar I'm attending next Thursday, I am without the time to spare for these amazing opportunities. I'm really trying to squeeze out as much time for involvement as possible, but I'm spread so thin.
Speaking of, I'm need of finishing a project...

Intro

A perpetual design student, I'm endeavoring to develop my knowledge in both fields of Architecture and Interior Design. Once I've acquired my position as a design hybrid, I intend on applying my insight globally. I plan on using this blog as a way of narrating my thoughts and ideas on design topics into something more accessible.

Tomorrow I have my Interior Design classes, and just after [rather, kind of during] I have to navigate South to an Architectural firm for an internship interview at SH_Arc. Then sadly retreat to work for more mundane, design-void antics.

Hope this works.
